President Trump is talking to Senator Ted Cruz and others about what they would do differently as Attorney General, should Jeff Sessions resign, as reports indicate.
White House sources also report President Trump was truthful when he made comments expressing buyers remorse over appointing Jeff Sessions to the role. Trump staffers believe Sessions, Donald Trump Jr, and Rohrabacher aide Paul Behrends were unfairly scapegoated due to the left-wing Russia narrative.
In addition, a replacement for special prosecutor Bob Mueller is being acitvely discussed as the President weighs the decision to fire the Rosenstein-appointed prosecutor. Many within the Trump camp see Mueller as acting in bad faith with the investigation due to partisanship, and are urging the appointment of a truly independent alternative.
Facing criticism as a political witch hunt by many, Bob Mueller has hired a whos who of liberal activists as his team of prosecuting attorneys. Research on Mullers prosecutors is being conducted for the administration by Chuck Johnsons team. Finally, top Trump donors are funding their own research operation independent of the White House in order to push back against the medias fake Russia narrative conspiracy theory.
Is there anyone here, ANYONE, who believes that there are 50 Senators who would vote to confirm him?
I bet there aren't ten.
Ok then. Nomination withdrawn.
Save taxpayers’ money. All of these seditionist criminals should be exiled and have their assets seized.
Read up on the Saturday Night Massacre. That event was the final straw for Nixon.Maybe you should read up on it first. Nixon was charged with (and guilty) of a crime.
What crime is Trump being charged with?...please be specific.
Can Trump name Cruz as AG during the August recess?
When would Cruz need to be confirmed after the August recess?
I don’t know did Session dicuss with Trump before he recuses himself?
Yea, when Sessions took himself out from the Russia investigation I knew he wasn’t right for the job. Too gentle for this job. Need a warrior.
Sessions wants to increase civil asset forfeture, govt stealing without due process. This member of the base wants to see him go.
Totally agree. I was not a Cruz supporter, but I have seen several interviews with him since the election and he definitely seems to have his head on straight when it comes to what I actually going on, and more importantly, what should be done. I would have liked him on the SCOTUS, would welcome him as AG.
I also like Sessions. He is a great patriot. He has fought the illegal immigration battle for a long time. But I don’t understand why he is not indicting Hillary and others to take the pressure off Trump.
If Ted leaves the Senate, I want him on the court.
Would prefer cRuz stay in the Senate...for votes and to maybe replace McTurtle, as Majority LEADER.
We lost Sessions in the Senate...hate to lose another Trump supporter.
Nonsense.

What country doesn't have a citizenship law that passes citizenship from parent to a newborn child?
It's perplexing to me too, and I can see only 3 possible reasons: He's either afraid, he's being blackmailed, or he was deep state to begin with. There's that 4th "3-D chess thing, but I'm not buying it. How could Trump NOT be furious with Sessions for his betrayal?
Regardless, he needs to be replaced. The problem will be Senate confirmation of a new one.
I should mention that when I say the base, I don't mean people like us, who are a lot more tuned in to what is going on. I fear that if he gets rid of Sessions now, it will look like he is throwing another guy to the wolves like Flynn. Sessions seems to be doing a great job on illegal immigration. Yes, he should leave the potheads alone, losers that they are, but giving the illegals the boot as he is doing seems to be a very good thing.
I'd much rather he ruin Mueller's reputation and then sack him.
If he does get rid of him, hopefully I am wrong about how it will be received by the electorate.
I thought of another reason: All of Sessions’ DC Beltway friends are mad at him for helping Trump get elected, and Sessions is trying to make amends to them. I know. It’s a stretch.
If Sessions had any guts and honor, he would fire Rosenstein and Mueller and McCabe. HE created the Witch Hunt ; HE needs to fix it.
